Adsorbents for the Removal of Naphthenic Acids from Oil Sands Process Water: Investigation of Reclamation Materials from Surface Mining of Oil Sands and Development of Biochars from Biological Sludge and Peat
DownloadSpring 2023
Crominski da Silva Medeiros, Deborah C.
Oil sands process water (OSPW) is generated in high quantities during the extraction of the bitumen from the oil sands. Naphthenic acids (NAs) are recalcitrant compounds, corresponding more than 50% of all organics in OSPW. The efficient management of OSPW is of importance to guarantee efficient...

Degradation of Recalcitrant Organics in Oil Sands Process Water (OSPW) Using Combined Electro-Oxidation and Electrochemically Activated Peroxymonosulfate (EO-PMS)
DownloadFall 2021
Abdelrahman, Ali Satti Abdellatif
In northern Alberta, the bitumen extraction process from oil sands ores consumes large amounts of water, resulting in the generation of huge volumes of oil sand process water (OSPW). Currently, the treatment of OSPW is considered a major challenge facing the oil sands industry. Moreover, among...

Structural properties of deprotonated naphthenic acids immersed in water in pristine and hydroxylated carbon nanopores from molecular perspectives
Download2021-08-05
Zhang, Mingshan, Li, Wenhui, Jin, Zhehui
We use molecular dynamic simulations to study the structural properties of deprotonated cyclohexanoic acid (DCHA) and heptanoic acid (DHA) immersed in water in pristine and hydroxylated carbon nanopores (PACNs and HACNs) in relation to NA removal by activated carbons (ACs). In PACNs, both NAs can...

Molecular assays to detect the presence and viability of Phytophthora ramorum and Grosmannia clavigera
Download2020-02-01
Wong, Barbara, Leal, Isabel, Feau, Nicolas, Dale, Angela, Uzunovic, Adnan, Hamelin, Richard C.
Wood and wood products can harbor microorganisms that can raise phytosanitary concerns in countries importing or exporting these products. To evaluate the efficacy of wood treatment on the survival of microorganisms of phytosanitary concern the method of choice is to grow microbes in petri dishes...

Treatment of Primary Influent Wastewater during Wet Weather Flow by Powdered Activated Carbon – Catalyzed Ozonation: From Fundamentals to Application
DownloadFall 2020
Cities equipped with combined sewers to accommodate domestic and industrial wastewater as well as storm water runoffs, encounter the need to prevent seasonal overflows into water bodies. An extensive literature review pertaining to the treatment of primary influent (PI) during wet weather...

Bioremediation of oil sands process affected water sourced naphthenic acid fraction compounds
DownloadFall 2020
Current development of Alberta’s oil sands region requires large volumes of water, leading to an abundance of oil sands process affected water (OSPW). OSPW contains naphthenic acid fraction compounds (NAFCs) which have been found to contribute extensively to OSPW toxicity. Degradation of this...

The textile industry contributes significantly to the growth of the global economy, but it is also one of the most polluting industries.1 Bleaching of cotton is an integral part of the textile wet processing industry. It is carried out to remove naturally occurring coloring matters from cotton to...

Application of Electro-oxidation for the Degradation of Organics in Oil Sands Process Water (OSPW)
DownloadFall 2019
Large volumes of oil sands process water (OSPW) are generated during the extraction of bitumen from the mined oil sands ores in northern Alberta. The treatment of OSPW is currently considered a serious challenge facing the oil sands industry in the region. Among the different constituents in...

Treatment of Oil Sands Process-affected Water (OSPW) Using Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge (IFAS) Reactors
DownloadFall 2016
The oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) generated from bitumen extraction of oil sands, is currently stored in tailings ponds due to its toxicity to the aquatic organisms. The primary toxic constituents of OSPW are a complex mixture of alicyclic and aliphatic compounds containing carboxyl...
